Very inexpensive for a buffet.

I like a good Chinese Buffet and this one was the only one in the area. I was hoping they improved since the last post. Nope. Almost all the Food was luke warm. I was flying out of town that night. Fortunately i did not get sick. Food was not being replaced when it was out or scraps and sauce were left at the bottom of the pan. Very disappointing.

Empty! For over an hour!

They are closed for good. Just kept getting worse. It always had folks in there. The large families coming in letting therr children at the buffet was really sicking, children using there hands to get food off yhey bar. Putting food back on the serving area.

Decent enough for a Chinese buffet though the Chinese stuff on the line was drenched in sauce or you were digging through vegetables to get to the meats. Lots of non-Chinese stuff up there for the folks who prefer lasagna, roast beef, sausages or cheese pizza. A reasonable sushi table though most of the maki rolls were either fried or loaded in sauces. The nigiri included salmon, tuna, shrimp and crab stick but these were not restocked while I was there. The rice was a bit dried out, which is the usual experience with a Chinese place that tries to do sushi. The chocolate fountain was interesting. And there was self-serve ice cream.

So much good food! This place has everything! They have of course the normal Asian buffet foods plus some things I've never seen before at any other buffets, plus a Hibatchi Station and a Sushi station and don't forget about the huge chocolate fountain! Even my Sprite tasted extra good today! For the families that have that one picky person, there is a station just for American food. Oh and of course they have pizza. What buffet doesn't? :) The staff was great. Everything on the bar was full and hot and fresh. The sushi chef was spot on! Had to tip the Hibatchi chef. My fav!!! If you've never tried this place you don't know what you're missing!!

We stopped here while on a business trip. It's definitely a good place to grab lunch at a reasonable price. Especially if you are with a lot of people or people who want different things! I was surprised by how many options they had. There were multiple hot food bars, a sushi bar, a cold food bar as well as desserts. My favorite was the hibachi station. Here you can fill your plate with a number of different options on a buttet style line, from noodles and meats to veggies and sauces. They cook it on a large grill in front of you. (a sped up version of a traditional hibachi experience) I really liked the cook that was there, he was nice and remembered my preferences when I went up. I was also able to customize my meal per my dietary preferences which was nice. The rest of the food was good, what you would expect from Asian buffet restaurant. The main appeal was the options offered. It was also about $10 for lunch and included a soda. This is the type of restaurant where you pay at the entrance and help yourself. There are staff around filling drinks and clearing plates, but they are not engaged in the traditional server role.

Hibachi grilled!

Checking this place out next weekend. What's the best time to go when trying to avoid a crowd?

This is probably the best buffet in the Nashville area. More items than anywhere else and most of the stuff is very good. My favorite way to eat there is to load up a plate and hand it to the grill man. The best time ? Eleven o'clock AM, or Three PM

I love when restaurants notice these details on the reservation. We were seated at our corner booth in a quiet area. The atmosphere is stunning. I was delighted to see that even the menus had a "Happy 20th anniversary, lovebirds" message printed on them. So thoughtful! Our lovely waitress recommended that we order about 5 dishes between us which was super helpful. She gave us some recommendations and guided us through the menu. Everything we tried was delicious but the bao buns and the lamb were probably my favorites of the night. Thank you so much for a lovely and unforgettable evening.

The restaurant is on the smaller side with a mix of table seating and counter seats overlooking the kitchen. I'd definitely recommend making a reservation because it filled up quickly. Even though the restaurant was packed, the noise level was perfect--we could still have a conversation without shouting. The bar service for drinks was a little slow, but the staff kept us updated throughout and were incredibly friendly. Everyone was hustling--they handled check-ins, took orders, ran food, and kept everything moving despite how busy they were. The food completely exceeded my expectations. The ahi toast and seared yellowtail were absolute must-orders. Both had incredible flavor, and the fish practically melted in your mouth. The cucumber salad was fresh, flavorful, and a great appetizer while we waited for our drinks. The dumplings took quite a while to come out (they actually arrived after our hot pot), and while they were tasty, they weren't nearly as memorable as everything else we ordered. The shabu shabu was outstanding. We chose the miso broth with the NY strip, and the portion was huge! There was more than enough food for the three of us to happily share, and everything was fresh and delicious. Our cocktails were excellent and well worth the wait. Overall, Kosho delivered a fantastic dining experience with amazing food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Our reservation was for a Saturday at 5pm which was perfect for us since it was quiet enough for us to converse before the dinner rush at 6pm. We tried 6 dishes + 2 desserts and were stuffed by the end, so I'd recommend getting fewer plates for a party of 2. Our dinner included: hamachi crudo, bluefin tuna crudo, spicy tuna crispy rice, district sandwich, wagyu tartare, and the burnt ends lettuce wraps. The hamachi was a light and refreshing starter and reminded me of a papaya salad at a Thai restaurant. The bluefin crudo was probably the star of the night with the crunchy garlic topping and thick savory sauce! Our server told us that the spicy tuna crispy rice was their best seller and it was amazing; a perfect ratio of fish to rice and the rice was nice and crunchy on all sides. We've had a lot of spicy tuna crispy rices before and this one is up there with one of our favorites back in California! The district sandwich was the perfect girl dinner addition to our table with how creamy the cheese was on the crust-less bread. Wagyu tartare came out as a build your own handroll and by this point, we were stuffed so it was nice to be able to adjust our own rice portions in each bite. Lastly, the burnt ends lettuce wraps were covered in a thick glaze and would have been better if we had more friends to share with. After stuffing ourselves, I somehow found more space to try their brookie and pineapple dole whip. The brookie was a nice twist of your pizookie with the black sesame seeds. Eat this one fast as the vanilla gelato melts really quickly! The dole whip on the other hand was light and refreshing and was really a great way to end the meal. Our server, Eleni, called it the palette cleanser and sure was she right! Overall, we had an amazing experience here and left with happy hearts and full bellies. Thank you Eleni for a wonderful first time at Noko!

We started with a few cocktails and all of them were really good. For appetizers, we got the burrata with peach jam and grilled peaches, which was recommended by Farron. The burrata was super creamy, and the peach jam added a nice hint of sweetness. The hamachi crudo was also good. The spicy tuna crispy rice was one of the better ones I've had. The rice was crispy on the outside and soft inside without being mushy. For our mains, we decided to get the burnt end bowl but couldn't decide on another dish. Farron suggested the beef brisket sandwich, and I'm glad he did. The brisket was succulent and fatty, served on soft, fluffy bread that soaked up all the au jus. The au jus reminded me of a beefier pho broth. The burnt ends were sweet and salty but paired really well with the rice, fresh carrots and pickles. The Dole Whip soft serve was also excellent. Since we were celebrating a birthday, they also gave us a scoop of ube ice cream. It was super creamy and rich. I wasn't planning on ordering it, so I'm glad I got to try it because it was really good. Everything was really good, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The interior was really neat, I couldn't figure out what was here before or if this was an original build...but the rocks, brick, and wood was cozy. It had the vibes of a bathhouse but this could have easily been a bbq or pizza joint in the past...or neither...or both. I have no idea but I loved how unique it was. Our waitress was calm and quiet, I don't know if she wanted to be there but she was attentive and nice. We went at 11:30am on Memorial Day right after they opened. It was an all-day dinner menu due to the holiday which was fine by us. It is $29.95/pp for the dinner menu. There were a lot of booths already taken but the restaurant wasn't super busy. When ordering, you tell your waiter what you want each round. We never had any issues with waiting for ours to come back to order more food and our drinks were always filled. For all you can eat sushi, this was pretty decent and the fish was fresh. The kitchen menu items were okay. The gyoza was really good and the pad Thai was alright, very mediocre but still good, just not authentic (I've never seen lemon with pad Thai, only lime). My husband ordered the hibachi chicken and it only came with chicken, no rice. The miso soup was flavorless. For the sushi, everything we had was really good and I especially enjoyed the Pac-Man roll and the Out of Control roll. Do beware that most of the rolls at Sushi Kingdom come with cream cheese, which I feel most AYCE sushi places add this abomination to their rolls. However, we enjoyed all of our rolls even if some had cream cheese. Their sashimi came in large slices so that was really nice! You get 10 pieces of sashimi per person, any more than that and it's $1 up-charge per order. Overall, Sushi Kingdom is pretty solid if you're looking more for quantity over quality. If we weren't 40 minutes away, I'd consider coming back. Food- 7/10 Service- 10/10

They have some seating in the hall outside the restaurant and then a somewhat small dining area inside the restaurant. We got the onigiri to start and was able to add an extra piece since we were a group of 4. For food our table got the chirashi bowl, the curry rice, chicken katsu sandwich and the creamy bacon udon. The three different onigiri were all delicious and different but our favorite was the yaki since the grilled rice added such a depth of flavor with the cod roe. The seasoning they serve on the side is great too. My chirashi bowl even though it was "mini" ate like a full meal. They really put a good amount of rice and salmon. Very well seasoned and everything tasted fresh. The curry rice was a very large portion and the curry tasted homemade. The chicken itself was the thigh and tasted like it had been marinated before being breaded so it was flavorful even without the curry.

We had reservations and showed up a little bit earlier but was seated right away. They overall had a decent amount of tables separated between inside and outside the restaurant.

My favorite was the Yaki so much flavor and you can taste the grill! For an entree, I got the Curry Rice which came with a chicken katsu. The portion was very generous which I appreciated. Chicken had so much flavor and had a nice crunch. The curry had a nice smooth flavor with small bites of potato and carrots. Highly recommend checking this place out!
